    Is this a CPU or IC?

    I don't even know how to do a search on this. I was tearing apart a Lexmark printer and came upon this board:





    Here's a close up of the chip I'm asking about:



    Since I know very little about this stuff, I'm wondering what it is. Don't know whether or not printers even have a CPU inside them.

    No. But now that you mention it, that sounds like a good idea. Just learned something new!

    You know, I saw that but it's one of those things that just didn't register. I hate when that happens!

    If that printer had some memory card slots then yes it might have a processor cause you need to do different functions with it and some printers will load the whole picture/flyer first before it starts printing. (so it has to have memory to do that)

    That board would be a mid grade.
